MacOS X Install

trdomracc4
Here's a conversation between vaccine and Yamar about getting it working on Mac OS X:

vaccine: For OS X:
vaccine: You will need expat if you don't have it already - http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/
vaccine: run ./check-prerequisites.pl and install missing pieces
vaccine: You will need HTML::Tagset for the optional WWW::Babelfish module
vaccine: I needed to install expat first
Yamar: expat from source? nopre-package?
vaccine: umm
Yamar: (ie, not on the install OS X CD)?
vaccine: yeah.. I just d/l'ed 2.0 off the sf page
vaccine: yep.. got the source and just compiled it
vaccine: and install missingpieces was all done with CPAN
vaccine: oh..
vaccine: and your cpan command will require OS X users to use "sudo"
Yamar: not surprising.
Yamar: (as it should be)
vaccine: on your "getting.html" page
vaccine: this: Run perl -MCPAN -e shell and at the prompt type "install MODULENAME" for each listed module you need or want
vaccine: for OS X will be Run sudo perl-MCPAN -e shell
vaccine: outside of that, it was all the same =)
Yamar: ah, true.
Yamar: I should have at least put "as root"
vaccine: oh, and this all assumes that the OS X user has the dev tools
vaccine: by default there is no compiler on OS X
vaccine: you need to install the developer tools (which is free)
vaccine: it's just seperate
vaccine: it's either on theOS media..
vaccine: or available at Apple's site
vaccine: http://developer.apple.com/tools/
vaccine: http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/
vaccine: that's the download
